Training Rain (6 page)

Jess shifted again so that he was lying beside her. He
tugged the blanket out from under himself and slid beneath, adding his warmth
to hers. There was no aggression in his moves. She would have thought a man who
fought and killed, spied and assassinated for a living would be angry in bed.
It was not the case.

His hand skimmed from just under her breast down her rib cage
to her hip. He left a trail of fire on every inch of skin he touched. Rain’s
body quivered and she put her hand on top of his while he continued his
exploration over her pussy to the other hip. She lifted toward him, but he
didn’t stop at the place she most desired his caress.

It was tempting to force his hand, but her curiosity won out
and she allowed him to guide the encounter. His caress slipped down her leg and
out of reach. Calloused fingers warmed her calf and gripped her foot, pushing
her knee into a bent position. He made his way back up, teased her pussy with
one finger, and she gasped as the shock of his touch sent a thrill through her
body.

An instant later his attention moved down her other leg as
if he wanted to investigate every inch of her flesh. She had never thought of
her legs as erogenous zones, but everywhere he touched burned with desire. The
sensitive skin behind her knees was surprisingly erotic and she cried out as he
caressed that area.

She closed her eyes and let every touch and sensation flow
through her. Soft, warm lips pressed to the skin just behind her ear, she
gasped and the shock shot directly between her legs. He licked and nibbled on
her neck and earlobe and she was helpless except to move her head to one side
and give him better access. His hand had stopped at the swell of her hip, but
now slid across her pelvis and over her mound.

Rain’s breath came in short gasps and her pussy clenched
with the need to be filled. When his finger slid between her full lips, she
screamed.

He groaned into her ear. “So silky and wet. I can’t wait to
bury my cock here.”

His words were almost as stimulating as his touch. In spite
of his admitted desire to fuck her, he moved his finger in a slow circle around
her clit while still kissing her neck and ear. A second finger joined the first
sliding over and around her sopping slit. Her hips lifted and fell in rhythm.
The tightening of her orgasm began to swell inside her. He dipped his finger
into her tight hole, gathered more of her juices and spread them over her clit.

Jess’ mouth found its way down to her nipple and sucked
gently at first, but then harder, worrying the bud with his teeth. Again, his
fingers plunged inside her pussy, pulled out and swirled over her sensitive
bud.

She gripped his hair with one hand and the bedding with the
other. All sense of time and place had been lost to her while his fingers and
mouth worked their magic on her and turned her into a writhing beast who only
cared about pleasure.

His mouth was near her ear again. His fingers continued to
work their magic on her pussy. Her body stretched and contracted from the
inside out. “Come for me, Rain.”

The intensity of his command pushed her over the edge. Her
orgasm snapped and her screams filled the small bedroom. Jess gripped her in a
tight hug, clutching her body against his while the swell of rapture cascaded
to a peak and then subsided. He continued to hold her while she gasped for air
and purchase on reality.

Finally the room snapped back into focus and the tight band
of his arms loosened. “You’re amazing.”

Rain’s face heated, but she ignored her embarrassment over
being so totally exposed to him. She ran her hands up and down his back,
feeling the swell of his ass and sliding around to his tightly muscled thigh.
She pressed her hand between them and tickled the warm, smooth shaft. He
groaned and pulled away.

“Not yet,
cher
. I’m not done with you yet.”

What was he talking about? Nothing was going to top the
orgasm she’d just experienced. “I don’t have multiple orgasms, Jess. You should
let me pleasure you now. You’re wasting your time.”

He pressed her shoulders back into the lumpy mattress and in
the lamplight she could see his grin. “I think you have not been properly
motivated in the past. No one as sensitive as you is incapable of additional
pleasure.”

“I’m just telling you, you’re wasting your time.”

He pressed his lips between her breasts. “Energy well
spent.”

Rain ran her fingers through his thick hair as he kissed his
way down her body. If the room was still cold, she no longer felt it. In fact,
everywhere his lips touched was on fire. His mouth and tongue traced along her
ribs and dipped inside her navel. Surprisingly, she felt her body stir again
with desire.

In her life, sex had always been either a means to an end or
a release. Never had she experienced so much eroticism from a partner. Men
wanted their own pleasure and if she managed to come in the process, that was
fine too. Jess looked up at her and his eyes were filled with passion. It was
as if, as she became aroused, he was more turned on too.

He pressed his tongue inside her and her entire body
tightened. A moan escaped her lips and the definite signs of a second orgasm
building began. He lapped up her juices as if he were starving for her. Her
hips lifted of their own accord and he slid his hand under her ass, causing her
thighs to hang over his shoulders. As he sucked her clit gently and then with
growing pressure, she screamed his name and gripped the sheets. Her head turned
from side to side. Rain had lost control of her body, she had given it over to
the pleasure of Jess’ mouth.

His hand slid so that his thumb dipped inside her pussy. She
cried out. A moment later, the same moistened digit pressed against her anus. A
very small part of her wanted to stop the invasion, never had she allowed
anyone near that sensitive hole. Even as she thought to pull away, her body
betrayed her and she impaled herself on his finger. Jess lapped ravenously at
her clit and pussy while she fucked his thumb.

In less than a minute her body contracted and the orgasm
exploded around her. She came for the second time in a matter of minutes. She
gripped at his hair, but if she’d caused him pain, he didn’t complain. Slowly
he eased his finger from inside her and slipped from the bed.

“Where are you going?” she asked.

He leaned down and kissed her forehead. “I’m coming right
back.”

She leaned up on her elbow and watched him exit the bedroom.
Water sounded from the bathroom and then she could hear him out in the living room.
A minute later he reappeared holding a square foil pack.

He must have been an idiot not to have brought a condom with
him when he first entered Rain’s bedroom. If he was really honest with himself,
he never believed she would actually make love with him. Now he felt a bit
amateur, having to go out and search his pack for protection.

She giggled when he stood in the room once again, holding
the foil pack. Everything about Rain Silver turned him on. She was more than
just the woman who’d twice saved his life. He’d been attracted to her in Vegas.
Afterward he’d felt indebted, but she’d gone back to the reservation and he’d
joined the Psi Alliance. It was for the best that he stayed away from her. He
could have told Josh he wanted no part of a training assignment. He had enough
clout with the boss to get his way in most things. He just couldn’t stay away,
partly out of desire, but mostly he was curious to see what she was capable of
in the field. To say he was impressed would have been an understatement.

A very small part of him was disappointed that he wouldn’t
be finishing her training. A very small part.

Condom in hand, he crossed to where the small bed sat
against the far wall. He tore open the pack. Rain’s dark eyes never left him.
She watched his cock and then scanned up to his eyes as he approached. Her gaze
returned to him rolling the rubber over his painfully swollen shaft before he
stretched out on top of her, tucking her slim body under his and letting his
rod press lightly at the crease between her legs.

He knew what she expected. There was no need to read Rain’s
mind to know she had encountered more men interested in their own pleasure than
in hers. Most men would never understand how much satisfaction could be gained
by making a woman feel good. Too bad for them. He intended to show her just how
wonderful lovemaking could be.

She lifted her hips, letting him know he could proceed. It
wasn’t that Jess was against a good fuck. He’d love to thrust deep inside her
and bang out his own orgasm. The beautiful way she had responded to foreplay
kept him from going that route.

A groan escaped her full lips as he backed his cock away
from her pussy.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

He brushed wild strands of hair out of her face. His knuckles
grazed her cheek. “Nothing is wrong,
cher
. I’m just not done proving you
wrong.”

After half a second, he saw her eyes widen in understanding.
Jess leaned back on his knees before sitting with his back against the wall.
Taking her hand, he tugged gently until she sat up and straddled his lap,
facing him. She immediately lifted herself up so that the crown of his shaft
touched her wetness.

She would have impaled herself immediately, but her position
placed her beautifully plump breast at exactly the right height for his mouth
to take hold of one perfect nipple. He sucked gently at first, stalling her
descent. His balls ached but he wanted to show her that she could enjoy sex
with him far more than she had in the past with other men.

The cynical agent in his head warned him that he would
likely not see her again after tomorrow. That same voice demanded he stay
detached from the new feelings pressing down on him and driving him to explore
his desire for more of Rain Silver. He couldn’t ignore the warning bells going
off in his head, but he pushed the thoughts away.

Her back arched, pressing her tits forward. He tugged hard
on the distended bud. Rain cried out but didn’t back away. He looked up at her
face—eyes closed, mouth open and short, quick breathing. Jess ran one hand up
her spine and slid the other down to the crease between her two perfectly round
ass cheeks. God, her body was perfection. He couldn’t remember ever wanting to
be inside a woman more, nor could he think of a time when he’d used as much restraint.
What was it about her?

He released her nipple with a pop and before he could latch
on to the other, she slammed her body down and took him in completely. Cries
escaped both of their mouths.

Neither one moved.

The snug, warm embrace of her body sheathed him flawlessly.
His muscles shook with the need to move while his heart pounded out a feverish
tune.

“Jesus, Rain. You’re so tight.”

Without responding, she put pressure on his shoulders with
her hands and lifted herself up, almost freeing him before she slowly descended
again. He couldn’t remember moving his hands, but they had found the perfect
hold at the swell of her hips. His grip tightened and he helped her set a
steady pace that would drive them both to ecstasy.

Her head thrown back, soft cries falling from her mouth, she
continued to ride him slowly. Jess knew he would not last long looking up at
her rapturous face and stunning tits. Her pussy hugged him so perfectly snug
and slick with her juices, he felt an immediate tightening in his balls.

Waiting as long as he could, he pulled her down hard,
wrapped his arms around her and turned them carefully until Rain was on her
back and he covered her with his cock still buried deep inside. Her dark eyes
stared up at him hauntingly as he slid back and forward. His mouth covered
hers, their tongues imitating the rhythm of their lovemaking.

She wrapped her legs around his hips and her pace quickened
frantically. He’d wanted to make it last longer but as she broke the kiss and
screamed, her body contracted around his shaft, milking his orgasm. He grunted,
thrusting hard once, twice and one last time while her nails bit into the skin
of his shoulders.

He pressed his forehead to hers, neither one moving for a
long moment. His body quivered several times in the aftermath of possibly the
most powerful orgasm of his life. Pressing his lips to her warm skin and then a
slow kiss on her lips, he rolled off the bed.

Rain pulled the blanket over herself and snuggled in as he
headed to the bathroom to dispose of the condom. His reflection in the small,
dingy mirror caught his eye. He leaned against the old-style pedestal sink and
the eyes that stared back at him were strangely hopeful. “What’s gotten into
you?”

He knew the answer. Shaking his head, he turned on the cold water
and splashed a handful in his face. The shock of cold did nothing to cool his
desire from rising again at the thought of the woman in the next room.

A couple of minutes later he stood over the bed looking at
her long, dark hair spread out across the pillows.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

He’d thought she’d dozed off, but her voice didn’t sound
sleepy. His heart beat too fast and his palms were damp as a boy’s on his first
date. “I’m watching you.”

She rolled onto her back and those deep, brown eyes stared
up at him, shining in the lamplight. “Why don’t you get back into the bed?”

Jess went to the dresser and turned the lamp off, giving
himself time to force his emotions down. He slid back into the bed, pulling her
against him and kissing the top of her head. She snuggled in, laying her head
on his chest while one arm draped over his ribs.

“Can I ask you something?”

Absently he stroked his fingers over her soft shoulder. Even
though he dreaded the question, he could deny her nothing. “Anything.”

“Why did you get so angry with me earlier?”

Shit.
“I wasn’t really angry with you.”

“No?”

He shook his head. It was dark so she couldn’t see him, but
she must have felt the movement.

“You seemed pretty angry to me.”

“I was angry with myself for putting you in danger and then
not being able to protect you. That’s the second time you’ve save my life. I
don’t like being in debt.” It wasn’t pretty. It didn’t make him out to be a
terrific guy, but it was the truth.

“Why should you have to protect me?”

“I’m the man.” He sounded as if he was a complete
Neanderthal.

“What? Really?” She leaned up on her elbow and he
immediately missed the warmth of her body against his.

He shrugged.

“But I thought you worked with Tessa Clark.”

“That’s different. You’ve seen Tessa in action. She’s
extraordinary, hand-to-hand combat, paramilitary training and she can push a
bullet from its trajectory by slowing time.”

She moved to the very edge of the mattress, as far away from
him as she could get without actually getting out of bed. “I see. Maybe it
would be better if I just went back.”

Even in the dark, he could still see her body dimly
outlined. He gripped her shoulders. “You are taking this all wrong. I think
you’re going to be a competent and valuable agent. You have skills that are unique
and from my perspective, life-saving. I just can’t think of you the same way as
I think of Tessa. I think of Tessa as a colleague. You are a woman, a woman I
want.”

“Tessa told me you and she nearly had an affair years ago,
so I know you think of her as a woman.” He had limited mind reading skills, but
her words dripped with disdain.

She’d made the final bet, time to lay out his cards and face
the consequences. “I won’t lie to you. I wanted to have sex with Tessa. She and
I were partners. We worked under stressful situations and I liked her. I
thought we could have had something together and sex would have been a great
stress reliever.”

If Rain retreated any further, she’d fall on the floor.

“But she kept saying no and eventually I saw the wisdom of
her choice. We became great friends and our working relationship was successful
for a long time. In fact it still is.”

“Thank you for explaining. You should go back to the couch
now.”

“You don’t understand.”

She sat up and threw her legs over the end of the bed. “Sure
I do. I agreed to fuck you, Tessa didn’t. Got it. If you’re not going to go, I
will.”

She was almost too fast for him, but he headed her off
before she reached the door. Yas sat up and whined his confusion at all the
late-night activity.

Jess had to really work hard to keep his temper from rising.
He grabbed her arms and hoped she didn’t tell Yas to attack him before he had
the chance to explain. She didn’t fight him but she also didn’t look him in the
eyes. He wanted to shake her. “First of all, we did not fuck. When I fuck you,
Rain, you’ll know it and I will fuck you.”

She tried to pull away, but he held her firmly. Yas growled,
she looked at the dog and he settled back down. At least she wasn’t going to
have him mauled. When she turned from the animal, her gaze met Jess’. He saw
anger, but he also saw arousal. He would store that information away for later.

“I don’t just want you for sex. With Tessa that was all it
would have been. I want
you,
Rain. I want all of you. I have since the
first time I saw you and if we hadn’t had to stop Banta and you hadn’t saved my
life that day, I would have pursued you.”

“It doesn’t matter.” She jerked out of his grip. “You’re
leaving tomorrow and I’ll get another instructor.”

His gut tightened. “It matters to me. It matters that you
know my feelings for you go beyond one night in bed.”

“What makes you think I want more than one night?
Relationships are not really my thing.”

Damn, she knew right where to hit him. His stomach roiled.
“You think I wanted this to happen? Do you think it’s convenient for me to have
feelings for a woman, let alone one whom I’ll have to work with and watch walk
into danger?”

“If you are trying to win me over here, you’re doing a shit
job.” Still, she didn’t walk out.

He took that as a good sign and he took a deep breath. “I’m
trying to be honest.”

“Maybe you should just fuck me. You can get it out of both
of our systems and we can move on separately.”

He hated what she was saying, though his cock thought it was
a pretty good idea. And since they were both standing in the middle of the room
completely naked, it wouldn’t take much to comply. “I’m pretty sure it will
never be enough.”

He heard the words coming out of his mouth, but he could
hardly believe he was saying them. His fists clenched and released and it took
a major effort not to grab hold of her and make her see how much he needed her.

Rain walked into the living room. She didn’t put any clothes
on and he watched her as she stepped stunningly naked into the light of the
fireplace embers that still burned from when he’d last fed the fire. She ran
her hands through her tangle of hair. Her round ass faced him along with the
tattoo that so intrigued him. He wanted to know what it meant, to know more
about the mysterious woman who’d twice saved him. Even after spending several
days in her constant company, Jess knew only bits and pieces about her.

He watched as she turned toward him. There was a blanket on
the couch, but she didn’t cover herself. He stepped into the living room, picked
up the blanket as he went and wrapped it around her slim shoulders.

“I don’t know what to make of you, Jess. You’re not like the
men I’ve known.”

“I’m going to take that as a compliment.” He kissed the tip
of her nose.

“What is it you want from me?”

He shook his head. “I just want you to
not
run away.
I can practically feel you getting ready to bolt and run far enough that you
think I won’t find you.”

She laughed, but there was no humor behind the sound. “I
have a feeling you would find me no matter how far I ran.”

One side of his mouth pulled up. “You make me sound like a
stalker,
cher
. What I want to be is your lover.”

“I don’t see how that could work. You’re going your way and
the Psi Alliance will likely send me in another. Why don’t we just call this
night what it is? A release of pent-up emotion and stress.” She pulled the
blanket tighter around herself and sat on the couch. Yas made his way over and
curled onto the floor at her feet.

He was losing her. His heart actually hurt, but he couldn’t
think of anything more to say to change her mind. “I hate that you’re
minimizing what this is.”
